THORNTON HEATH, LONDON – Local charity IRFF-UK is set to host a mind-bending evening of mystery on Saturday, 23rd May 2026, as award-winning entertainer Simon Roselli brings his interactive magic and mind-reading experience to Haslemere Hall.
Roselli, a seasoned member of the world-famous The Magic Circle, will lead the audience through a series of demonstrations designed to test their “sixth sense.” The family-friendly event promises an evening where the line between reality and illusion is blurred, all in support of a life-changing cause.
100% of the proceeds from the evening will go directly to the Destiny Junior School in Uganda. Unlike many charitable initiatives, IRFF-UK funds all of its own administrative overheads through its independent charity shop, ensuring that every penny from ticket sales and the night’s raffle reaches the students.
“We wanted to create an evening that brings our local community together for something truly extraordinary,”
says Edward Hartley (IRFF-UK Chair).
“Simon is a master of his craft, but the real magic is the impact our guests will have. Every ticket sold helps provide daily hot meals and safe classrooms for over 200 children in Uganda.”
The event also features a grand raffle with prizes donated by a wide range of Thornton Heath and Croydon businesses, showcasing the strong community support for the project’s 2026 goal: expanding the school’s capacity to support 400 underprivileged students.
